Ouch, that hurt! From ice-cream induced brain freezes and bee stings to stubbed toes and bruises, ten children get ten owies that can only be cured by the following: a kiss, a hug, and as many colorful Band Aids as possible. Ten Owies is a rhyming and rollicking picture book that introduces young readers to the basic concept of counting to ten as well as the notion that everyone gets a “boo boo” every now and then. And while that owie might seem like the end of the world, it isn’t! Tony Johnston’s silly text combined with Annabel Tempest’s lively illustrations hilariously capture the drama of this common childhood occurrence while also offering plenty of love, sympathy, and healing.
